Our experience at George's was fantastic. The Armenian/Mediterranean food was delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the service was phenomenal. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the Lulu Kebab and the Armenian Combo Delight. We thought the open kitchen concept was cool and it was a great time - we would recommend! read more

I had such a great experience here on my special day. The waitress was very nice and recommended the Chicken Jerusalem and it was AMAZING. I have never had chicken that was so flavorful before with a bright citrus flavor absolutely phenomenal. The dish I had was the sampler and that was also absolutely cooked to perfection with the amazing lamb and fantastic other meats & cabbage roll. I can't believe I haven't tried this place before. I would recommend 100% read more

Came here in a group of six on a Thursday afternoon for a late lunch, and we were all satisfied. We were seated right away and drink orders were taken. Might I say, the iced tea was so crisp, fresh, and quenched our thirsts! Enjoyed at our table was beef kebab, shish kebab, pilaf, salad, mousakka, Mezza (appetizer) varieties, roasted vegetables, and of course fresh bread. For the whole table we were given fresh, soft, bread with butter, and with my Mezza (appetizer) plate, I was given cut up pita bread. It was super sweet, I wanted a sampler of some different items, it wasn't on the menu, but he said he could do it for me. I also enjoyed a salad with very delicious vinaigrette. The baba ganoush, hummus, and tabouli were all great, and the star of the show was the yalanchi (grape leaves). For the guest who enjoyed the mousakka, you literally couldn't even tell the plate was used...every last drop of anything was swiped clean with the soft bread, and gobbled up. For lunchtime, there were paper napkins, and as we headed out, they were switching over to cloth napkins for dinner. Service was impeccable, and everything came out correct, fresh, and in a timely manner. Refills on beverages were offered without asking, and overall we were all just so content. I highly recommend visiting here to enjoy a meal. Yay, George's! read more

Great Armenian Reasturant in the area ... clean place great service . I wish they have a branch in LA .. but will eat there every time I'm in their area read more

I love trying new places so when my hubby took me here for a lunch date I was so ready! Mediterranean food is my favorite. I was hoping to find a fattoush salad on the menu or something of that sort... I didn't but I am also a huge cheesesteak fan so that's what I went with. It was DELISH! Too bad it didn't have bell peppers and onions but it was so tender and punched me with amazing flavor! My hubby had a beef kebab with rice pilaf... I had to borrow his plate haha. Anyway great place for a date... we will be heading that way again soon read more

Stopped in for lunch today because of the positive Yelp reviews. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? Ordered the chicken kebab sandwich. It came out looking great with a huge side of pilaf. The pilaf was actually excellent, and I ate it all. Every bite of the chicken sandwich was a struggle, however. It was obvious to me that the chicken was frozen before cooking. It was hard and chewy with no taste at all. I was in a hurry, so didn't have time to ask to remake me something else. I mentioned it to the waitress before closing out, but there was no further conversation or accommodation on my bill. She knew I was right but said nothing. I left most of the chicken on the plate but nothing was said. You should avoid the chicken at all costs. Maybe avoid George's altogether? If the chicken was frozen, and they didn't seem to care, what else is going on here? No thank you. read more

If you enjoy shishkabobs pilaf and grilled vegetables the only place to go for lunch in Fresno is George's Bar & Grill. Perfectly grilled lamb, delicious pilaf, and perfect vegetables. My spicey cabbage soup was a perfect start. Expect a very busy restaurant at noon, but the short wait was well rewarded. Thank you for treating me as one of the family. read more

Great restaurant with great people! Saturday the HEYMA is to die for! Best pilaf in town! Soups are fantastic along with the hummus! Just an all around great place to eat! read more

The food is so delicious. They grill everything to perfection, chicken, beef, fish, veal. The service is great. Everyone greets you and talks to you like they know you. Nice white table clothes.

Soft bread and tasty side salad. Try it, you will like it. read more

I'm not sure what I expected from a place called "George's Bar & Grill" but I certainly did not expect 5 star food and great customer service. I went here for an attorney lunch. They serve you heaps of food; it's impossible for anyone to go hungry. We ordered the Lulu kebab plates, eggplant Marsala, steak kebab sandwich and a gyro wrap. Wow! The meat is so tender and tasty. Our plates were cleaned! They served bread as an appetizer. The bread is a delicate spongy texture that is so good, you actually don't need butter and I usually never bypass butter! Our drinks never ran dry! I'm astounded! read more

Well I hate to even leave this review but I have to be honest about my experience. So my daughter and I decided to have lunch here on a Friday. I walked with her I stood at the door for a moment no one greeted us so we seated ourselves. We sat down for well over ten minutes before someone decided to ask if we wanted menus and something to drink. There was only fives tables with customers sitting there eating. Yikes!! After that we wait another 25 minutes before the young lady came to see if we wanted to order. I told her I just wanted to pay for my tea and go. It's ridiculous to be treated that way in an almost empty restaurant. I've been there before this was the worst service I've gotten there. Very disappointing. Thanks guys for the experience read more

George's shish kebab...I am disappointed. You've been around for a long time and today I decided to give you a try,,,, ambience: average, not great, not inviting, warm or cool. salad had far too much salad dressing on it and very basic iceberg lettuce, not great or amazing PLUS the side bread was cold. Entrée was served. Chicken was delicious and moist vegetables cooked perfection rice had no flavor. Had to ask for garlic sauce. Garlic sauce is the worst I've had ever Taste like a ranch garlic sauce not with this type of meal overall rating experience five out of 10 it wasn't terrible just very bland ,no urge to return, poor service. Too pricey for what they offer. I FEEL that Gus Kabob, Broilers and Chorasco Grill are better read more

If you are a garlic fan or even just a good food fan then you must try this place! Their rice pilaf is delicious and super flavorful/garlic loaded. I tried their chicken lulu special and was VERY impressed with the quality of the protein and the portion size. I have enough for breakfast today! The rest of the table was very happy with their items. Also ordered was the filet kabob, chicken kabob, and steak kabob. The cabbage soup was delicious and hearty, great to eat on its own as well as dip your buttered bread in to. The service was friendly, fast and attentive. Atmosphere was low lighting and nice. Definitely recommend! read more

One of my fav's. Rib Eye with a Jack Daniel sauce ! This never disappoints The servers are friendly and attentive

Stopped by here for some take-out. This was a family favorite when I lived here years ago. I knew what I wanted the minute I walked in the door... lamb shish kabob sandwich. I'm sure there are pictures on here for you to see what it is and I will be uploading another just to be sure. You will see the pieces of tender marinated lamb grilled and then placed in an oversized bun with cilantro and onions. No sauces needed as the juices coming off the meat adds all the flavor that this sandwich needs. For me it's not even a sandwich. I eat the insides with a fork and forget the bread. Coupled with a generous portion of rice pilaf there's no room in my oversized stomach to fit the bread. I have lived in different places and traveled far but I have not come across meal served this way. To be fair I have not looked too hard but.... When I come out west my appetite is set on a few things: pizza, Mexican food and lamb shish kabob from George's! read more

George's Bar & Grill - Lamb Shish Kebab sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Fresno, California

They were nice enough to give me ice water at no charge, though I wasn't a customer. A+ for hospitality. I will be back soon.

Chef Simon at George's Grill puts out some excellent meals... If you want a great NY steak and prawns, or an exceptional Marinated charbroiled Chicken Breast... everything at George's Grill is Top Notch... They do Traditional Lamb Shish kabob and also offer a roasted Leg of Lamb in a savory stew like sauce with most entrees you get your choice of 2 kinds of Pilaff on the side, green salad or homemade soup of the day. There's something to please everyone at George's. Usually they can accommodate you without waiting. The multiple Golden Plate Awards were well deserved. read more

Came for lunch and then again for dinner on the same day. Food is excellent and service was great. Fantastic value for the quality of the food. The steak kabobs were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Even their iced tea was excellent! Definitely worth a visit or two! read more

Nestled in the same plaza as my dentist and family owned George's Bar and Grill was one of the best experiences I've had at a Mediterranean restaurant. Came for a late lunch around 4:30, they do have a lunch and dinner menu. Since it was lunch when you order a plate you'll get a choice of soup or salad, both my girlfriend and I ordered the lamb shish kebab medium rare, and of course soup. They would usually have 2 choices of soup, the one that we picked was the lemon, chicken, rice soup and oh my goodness it was so delicious it was gone the moment it got onto the table! They bring out complimentary bread and butter, the bread was soft and warm definitely enjoyed it. Once the food came out every bit of it was delicious, the lamb was so tender and filling, though it seemed like a small amount, it was proportionate with a balance of rice veggies and meat. Can't forget about the garlic sauce! They are not greedy with it, had plenty to go around for your dipping pleasure. The biggest thing here was their service, the server was very polite and attentive, the people that came in here while we were dining in seemed to have known all of the staff, everyone was super friendly. The prices are really good for all the things that come in the meal, I definitely will be returning to this place for lunch or dinner. read more

Great service, very friendly staff, generous portions, but the food was a bit too salty for us.

It was our 20th anniversary on a Monday night, and we chose to celebrate at George's Armenian cuisine on Blackstone. I noticed few cars in the lot and a sign on the door announcing Sunday closures. I felt sad and worried, but stepped in. The good smells of garlic, onion and grilled meats met us at the door. Our waitress, Pamela, was prompt and friendly, suggesting the best red wine to accompany our grilled chicken and lamb kebabs. A crisp and home-dressed salad, good basque bread, garlicky grilled veggies, buttery pilaf and bulgur accompanied our meal. Pamela steered us to the owner's homemade baklava for dessert. The dinner was scrumptious and the service attentive. I don't know why this restaurant has escaped the notice of other Yelpers and their suggestions for fine dining. I hope others are inspired to try George's. read more

Excellent !!! Service is awesome , waitress was great and the Food was excellent , we had a party of 7 and everyone loved their meal

This has been a long standing staple for lunch for me and the boys. It's literally the cheers of food spots for us, SIMON is the man behind the grill and we always sit at the counter top to experience the cooking perfection. Always above and beyond on customer service. The most amazing, flavorful and tastiest meals you will ever have. You can not go wrong with anything here from the chicken to beef to the sandwiches, all meals come with salad or soup. I encourage you to try this amazing place. read more

I dine here a couple of times a month. It's always top notch. The lamb shish kebab is a favorite of mine but I have the Calamari steak for a change of pace and it's great too. The service is always good and the waitstaff are always very friendly and attentive. The seating area is open and not crowded. You can sit at the long bar and watch them prepare your meal and have dinner and a show if you so desire. read more
